The Junior Bridesmaid

by Amy Baker

Sixteen-year-old Delilah Welling never understood why Darcy Strong despised her so much. Especially since their mothers had been friends for a lifetime. So when Delilah is asked to be The Junior Bridesmaid in Darcy's wedding, Delilah is understandably surprised and reluctant to say yes. Upon her mother's insistence, Delilah finally agrees determined to look at the bright side.

And there couldn’t be a brighter side than Hugh Rowen, a.k.a. the groom. Delilah has always been in love with Hugh and could never understand what a nice guy like Hugh was doing with a wench like Darcy.

Before the wedding, Delilah discovers that the bride-to-be is keeping a torrid secret. Fearful that she will hurt Hugh, she remains silent, going about her Junior Bridesmaid duties as planned.

Until...

All hell breaks loose during the wedding ceremony. Embarrassed and devastated, Delilah flees the wedding. But not before hurting the love of her life.

Twelve years later, Delilah is 28 and living a happy existence in New York. Until one day when she receives a message addressed to JUNIOR? Has Hugh hunted her down twelve years later to exact revenge or is he in New York for a different reason entirely? Either way, twelve years is a long time to wait to find out!

About the author

When all the craziness of the day is through, writing is where I can be found. And, to be honest, I will sometimes close my eyes and pretend I didn't see the mile high stacked laundry basket just so I can escape to my laptop and get some thoughts down on a page.

If given the choice, I prefer music to television and warm weather to cold. And, despite my name, I really don't like to bake. :)

Review
Well, I have to say the beginning of this book was one big “side holding” laugh!  I fell in love with 16 year old Delilah and her antics.  When we get to the point of Delilah at 28 – she is such a peach – trying to be the sophisticated suave corporate worker, instead we get blunders and flashbacks to her “southern” charms.



This book had me laughing but at the same time plotting ways to kill Delilah’s co-worker….oh just wait till you meet her and her scheming sadistic ways….ugh the bitch makes me want to back hand her in the worse way.  Poor poor Delilah always seems to get the worse end of the stick.  And even when things start to go her way and Hugh is back in her life….the black cloud hanging over her head refuses to go away.

The author takes us on a trip through comedic humor and sobering obstacles in love and the chance for true love.  This was a book; I just couldn’t tear my eyes away knowing that the next page was going to be filled with more heart breaking moments and knee slapping humor.



The only problem I had with the story was Hugh’s attitude on a relationship with Delilah.  I thought long and hard on how he could suddenly after 12 years move right into a relationship that should have taken years to build.  Then I finally got it….the answer was right under my nose the whole time and I missed it.  Pay attention to the details of why Hugh showed up in New York – who told him what – and what happened with his friend when he was a teenager.

Re-Cap
We open the story with Delilah as a 16 flat-chested lanky Junior Bridesmaid in a wedding where the bride absolutely hates her and makes her life a living hell.  Oh and just wait till the wedding and what utterly embarrassing moment happens with Delilah.  (Make sure you don’t have any liquid in your mouth when you read about her walk down the aisle.)



Fast forward 12 years and Delilah is living comfortably in corporate America – her relationships are few and far between because she just doesn’t experience the connection she felt with Hugh in the past.  She knows that Hugh is her one true love and she will never have him because of shattering his happiness 12 years prior.

Then one fateful day – she receives a note addressed to “Junior” stating that he is in New York and wants to meet.  Delilah worries that he is only there to extract his revenge on her for ruining his life and it is hard for Delilah to trust what Hugh says is the truth and not just a plot to hurt her.

Experience the ups and downs while Delilah and Hugh come to terms with their past and put to rest the ghosts that continually haunt Delilah.  But not only do they have to worry about past demons…but there seems to be 2 demons who have it out for Delilah and will stop at nothing to tear Hugh from her life and knock her down to the bottom.



Wrap-Up
Such a cute and funny read about true love and healing old wounds!  If you are looking for a book that will make you smile and fall in love with the characters, this is the book for you!

"OVER"

[Didi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very cute, very funny book about finally having the chance to be with the one person you've always loved. This was quirky, romantic and very enjoyable to read. Delilah Welling has been in love with Mathew Rowen forever. At 16, she has the misfortune of being part of his wedding party. He's marrying her nemesis, the irritating and vicious Darcy Strong. Unfortunately Darcy's mom is best friends with Delilah's mom, so being junior bridesmaid is pretty much mandatory for poor Delilah.

But Darcy is harboring a secret. It's a big one that Delilah knows but decides to keep to herself and avoid ruining the wedding, even at the cost of seeing the love of her life make the biggest mistake of his life. But fate has a way of intervening, and the wedding that was supposed to happen never does. And it's all because of Delilah.
This book starts out with Delilah at 16 and the hilarious antics that ensue. We get to see the disaster that occurs at the wedding and how bitchy Darcy treats her. We see Hugh( Mathew ) and get glimpses of what's to come in the future. It was really funny here, lots of laugh out loud moments. I felt so bad for Delilah and everything she had to go through.
Then the book jumps to 12 years later. Delilah has been living in NYC for years, quickly leaving her hometown and all the gossip that ensued after the non-wedding once she graduated high school. The aftermath of that fateful day put all of Delilah's family on the defensive, everyone was affected. But Delilah is happy, has a great job and wonderful apartment. But one day a message appears from Hugh...oh, shit!

Now, the disaster that happened 12 years ago has caught up with Delilah. What does Hugh want? The rest is a great story of love, bitter enemies, bitchy co-workers, miscommunication and hilarity.
I loved Delilah, she was a sweet woman that desperately shed her embarrassment over an unforgettable incident. She was kind, smart and loyal. Her unwavering feelings for Hugh were so believable and relatable. Hugh was a man that finally went for something that mattered. It may seem odd that he tracks Delilah after all those years but it does make sense once he admits how it came to happen. And like I said, the beginning of the book highlighted some tension between him and Delilah that tied everything together.

This book also had a secondary story with Delilah's BFF that was cute. Stacey, Delilah's partner at their firm in NYC, was a BITCH. Wow, seriously, she was so mean and relentless I was counting down the pages till she got what she deserved.

Great book with a sweet epilogue, very cute and endearing characters, I really liked it!

[Pamela · Rating 2 out of 5]

A cute novel with a really bad ending. As much as I understand why Delilah moved to New York, someone, her best friend, her parents, or her brother should've reiterated to her that nothing was her fault. As for Hugh, he should've bought her diamond earrings, hell a new car for saving him from a life of misery. And that's another thing, if Hugh had feelings for Delilah, why wait twelve years to go see her? The fact that he's basing his decisions on idle gossip as to whether or not he should go see her is just ridiculous. If he had strong feelings for her, he should've went to her directly when she first got to New York (or when she reached legal age) and tell her how he felt. As for Stacey, holy shit! What a nasty, skanky, bitch! Everything she did to Delilah was unbelievable. I kept hoping that she'd get what's coming to her. Instead she's told to resign. That's it!? WTF?! Nope, not acceptable. You created this awesome villainous snake only to end it with a resignation? Talk about being gypped of a worthy conclusion. And what about Will? Trying to make it look like Delilah has a stalker only works if you can explain how he knew so much about Delilah, especially since she's the one who voices these concerns, and giving it closure. So I guess like Stacey, nothing will come of Will. And the way it ends for Hugh and Delilah....WTF?!

[❤️Melanie G.📖💛 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was a pleasant surprise. I had no idea what to expect from this story but I loved it. Delilah is so freaking hilarious and independent you can't help but love her. Hugh is amazing but can be a giant asshole. Stacie needs to be shot and Darcy needs to be slapped a few dozen times. The twist and turns & the ups and downs of this story keeps plastered to the book. Great book and highly recommend.

REVIEWED FOR BIT'N BOOK PROMOTERS

Goodreads | Website

I must have missed the synopsis because when I read this, I'd expected it to be a teen novel. And when it wasn't I was pleasantly surprised. I guess the twelve years caption on the cover should have alluded me, but yeah.

So, in short, Delilah A.K.A Dee A.K.A Junior (to Hugh only) when a teen, has to be a bridesmaid for her nemesis Darcy, because their mums are friends. She has been assigned the role of junior bridesmaid—I know, didn't see that one coming, right?—and to top off her misfortunes, the groom is the man of her dreams. Her nemesis, Darcy, is more than aware of this and does everything in her power to show off her winning hand and degrade Dee whenever given the chance. Poor Dee as a teen is not exactly endowed in the chest department; there's a funny scene in the dressing room about it—"Madonna me!"—you'll get it when you read it. So when the dress maker/designer suggests for her to wear "lamb chops" which I know of as 'chicken fillets', to boost her non-existent assets, you can see something very bad is about to happen.

Does tripping and faceplanting on the church aisle at the wedding, causing the chicken fillets to burst out of the top of your dress and catapult down the aisle and then in a fit of embarrassment and rage shout out that Darcy is a cheating whore because she slept with Hugh's brother and has a bun in the oven constitute as 'something very bad happening'?

Then you can see my point. And yes, Darcy cheating on Hugh does happen. Dee finds out and can only hold it in so long because she cares about Hugh.

And my next point, with the above paragraphs as evidence, is that this novel is not shy of cringe-worthy moments. I mean, I had to literally pause, wince, recover and then force myself to carry on reading through the train wreck of face-reddening situations. Situations no girl should ever have to endure. But Dee handles it with her unwavering determination, humour and grace. Okay, she is pretty ungraceful and clumsy and her inability to speak out leaves her in difficult situations that she could have got herself out of had she had a little more faith in herself.

But that's why I love her. Because she's not perfect and yet you can't help but love her for her faults. They make her who she is, and they are the reason we're able to read such crazy situations.

The wedding event, which left her regretful and consumed by guilt for voicing a secret that she had sworn to keep, and revealing it so openly in front of all of Hugh's friends and family—it leaves a lasting mark even twelve years later when she's a successful businesswoman in New York, far away from her hometown.

But then she gets a note at her place that addresses her as 'Junior' and though it isn't signed, she knows it's Hugh. He always called her Junior, and the events from that time in her life send her in a panic. She's always been in love with him but believes he hated her for embarrassing him at the wedding and destroying his life. Though it turns out that her interpretation of that day is different to his. And he has feelings for her too.

Aside from that back-story, there's rivalry in Dee's office, betrayal, catfights and people out to destroy her life. They almost do, until Dee believes in herself and fights back.

It's a cute romance and was a lot of fun to read. I laughed and cringed in equal measures. The characters were decent and all pock-marked with flaws and insecurities. Hugh was not my favourite hero, because he was quick to judge and make assumptions quickly, and he was pretty hot-headed, but that just adds to his character. I don't mind hot-headedness but if I put myself in Dee's shoes, it doesn't seem right that my childhood nemesis would say something (or show a note as is the case in the book) that would accuse me of something out of character, and then show it to Hugh—who I've just spent a lot of bedroom time with and shared loving words with—and he immediately believes what it says. He doesn't stop to ask Dee or to see her side. He just gives her the stink-eye which sickens her to her stomach and leaves her stunned, then he storms out.

She doesn't know what the note says and she feels so deflated because whatever it did say, he shouldn't have assumed the worst about her. I admired her for this. I applauded her even more when he finally realises the accusations are false, and he comes back to apologise and she says 'You should have believed me'. She doesn't just jump back into his arms and take him back. That was by far the best part of the novel for me. She just suddenly grew in my eyes from someone who is quiet and bends around other people, to someone who makes a decision no matter how hurtful it is for her and stands up for herself. For her self-respect.

It was well-written, funny, emotional and the characters were great. I did find some things a little bit far-fetched such as Darcy being on the balcony with the note in her hand, or how Dee conveniently forgets to tell Hugh his brother called her place. I understand it was to add suspense and to fit into the plot the author had in mind but it did verge on the bizarre. Apart from that, I really enjoyed it and I recommend it to lovers of sweet romance, humour and those that can stomach awkward, cringey situations.

4/5

[Fiona Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a funny, sometimes laugh out loud, book which I really enjoyed. The first portion of the book focuses on 16 year old Delilah. This part of the story was, for me, the funniest. All I will say is I will never look at chicken fillets the same way again!

The story quickly jumps forward 12 years. Delilah is working hard and living quietly, for the most part. She soon finds that the past can never be as buried as she hoped it was, and her life starts on a downward spiral she can't seem to find a way out of.

Delilah discovers that even those she thought she could trust were, in fact, working against her. But she finds solace in someone she thought she had left behind a long time before. She also finds out that there is someone working behind the scenes on her behalf. All is revealed nearer the end of the story.

I won't go into the storyline any more as that would just spoil it. But suffice to say this story was a breath of fresh air for me. It is a simple, humorous, sweet story.

A few of my favourite quotes -

"That son-of-a-bitch-mother-fucking-boyfriend-banging-whore!" I screamed."

"So help me God, Matthew Rowen. If you don't come back over here and stick that thing where it belongs I am going to kill you. You have been toying with me for over an hour."

All in all a well written story which I would recommend to anyone who likes a light hearted read.

At 16 years of age a family obligation finds Delilah Welling as a Junior Bridesmaid at the wedding of Hugh Rowan, a friend she has had a crush on her whole life, and Darcy Strong the girl she hates. She makes a humiliating blunder at the wedding and her life is subjected to embarrassment and ridicule in her home town. She cannot wait to escape small town Virginia and start a new life. Twelve years later Delilah has made a name for herself with a great PR firm in NYC. Her life is good, her job is great and she loves New York. A note from her doorman sends her life spinning out of control fast. Such a cute story, the characters were well written, the story was fun and easy to read. Delilah made me want to throw the Kindle a few times and yell "Snap out of it"! Hugh was dreamy, and Logan kept me in stitches! 4 stars, Over.

[Donna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Amy Baker has a way of capturing the audiences attention by making you fall in love with her characters. I swear, in the beginning of the book, we see Deliliah (Dee, aka Junior) in all her awkward adolescence. I mean, I know I was somewhat like her, but she was all in: adolescence in glorified, cringeworthy (I had to actually put the book down for a minute or two because I couldn't stand what was going on), awkward beauty. It was great.

Fast forward twelve years, and she's a career woman. Still stuck on her man, Hugh, who comes looking for her after she escapes her small town in Virginia. With some mean catty fighting from a co-worker, she ends up with some trouble on her plate, as well as man trouble. All in all, it was really a cute story, and heart touching. If you want a quick read, lots of laughs, with a touch of some heartache, this is your book.

4.5 stars

[Shelby · Rating 4 out of 5]

* I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review *

** 4.5 Hilariously Heartfelt, Laugh Out Loud Stars **

Wow! I don't even know where to start. Junior Bridesmaid is the total package. It's the perfect mix of witty and heartfelt with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Delilah Welling is 16 years old and head over heels in love with the man of her dreams. The only problem is he is also the man of Darcy Strong's dreams...and they're getting married...and Delilah is their junior bridesmaid...and Darcy hates her. When Delilah discovers a secret that could potentially destroy Hugh, she decides to take her mother's advice and keep quiet because "all the dirty laundry comes out in the wash". The day of the wedding comes and hilarity ensues. As a matter of fact, hilarity "ensues" from the very first page. But it's also full of love and romance when 12 years later Delilah and Hugh reconnect and get another chance at the relationship that she so desperately wanted in her youth.

The storyline in Junior Bridesmaid is fantastic, there is so much going on that you don't really get right away, but the real gem in this book is the characters. They are so well written and awesome. There is the ever entertaining Delilah, sexy and deep Hugh, Julia - the best best friend that a girl could ask for, creepy Will, Stacey >.< , and my personal favorite, Logan...among others. You will love all of them for very different reasons. Well almost all of them but I'll let you figure that out on your own.

With the majority of the books I've read recently all blending together and sounding the same and ending up completely forgettable by the time I finished them, Junior Bridesmaid was a breath of fresh air. It was completely fun and unique. Do yourself a favor and take a chance on a book that is sure to deliver full belly laughs, happily contented sighs, and the kind of satisfaction that can only come from reading as a backstabbing biotch gets outsmarted by one of the best leading ladies I've read in a long time!

[Amy Queau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Once again, Baker captivated me with her characters, made me laugh out loud, cry a little, and gasp. I've read all of her work, but fell in love with The Dream Weaver, and haven't looked back since.

In The Junior Bridesmaid, we meet Delilah: the sixteen year old, awkward, flat-chested, heroine of this story. And while most of the story takes place 12 years later, the first few chapters were epically funny, painting a perfect picture of an embarrassing incident she endures during a wedding where she attends as the junior bridesmaid. A wedding she's forced to partake in; a marriage between her sworn enemy and the man she's always pined for, Hugh.

Never able to recover from the blunder, she packs up after she graduates and heads to NYC, building a life for herself. Until one day she receives a letter from her doorman, addressed to the one and only "junior." Her heart stops and panic ensues.

What happens next can only be described as heartwarming, aggravating, and uncommunicative as Hugh and Delilah continue to cross paths, professionally and personally.

Another standalone superbly written, The Junior Bridesmaid is the perfect addition to Baker's collection of romantic comedies.

This turned out so much funnier then I thought! It had me cracking up through out the whole book! Delilah was just oh I don't have words for her! The whole wedding scene was hilarious from the get go! Especially the 'lamb chomps'!!! But Stacey was a T-total bitch! I mean she just thought of everything didn't she? Although the way Delilah handled it was something in its own! Overall its a great read! I loved it!

2.5 stars for a hilarious main character. Both 16-year old and 28-year old Delilah are a hoot. This book started out being 4 stars (seriously, 16-year old Delilah is so funny) and I think it could have stayed there if not for the one too many misconceptions and assumptions made by Matthew. Matthew has so much swoonworthy potential but he doesn't use his brain or act fast enough in my opinion. I would read more from this author though.

Delilah has been in love with Hugh half her life and no one else will ever measure up to him. When she was 16 she found out something that changed Hugh’s life and kept him for making a huge mistake. She believes that he hates her and will never forgive what happened that fateful day. Little does she know, Hugh is thankful for her interference.
Fast forward 12 years and Delilah and Hugh meet again. Her attraction to him has not waivered, if anything, it is even stronger. Hugh finally admits how he feels about her and it seems like they will finally get their HEA. However, nothing is ever that easy. Delilah’s co-worker has it out for her and sabotages her job. She is forced to leave New York and Hugh and move to Virginia. As fate would have it her life doesn’t get any better there and she gets fired from her job before she even starts.
The only silver lining to returning to Virginia is that she gets the chance to reconnect with her best friend. She finds out that her friend has a secret of her own and helps her to come to grips with how she really feels.
Soon Delilah gets a call that could take her back to Hugh. Will she risk getting hurt to go back? Does she really believe they can be happy together? Is she willing to let go and finally get the man of her dreams? To get the answers to those questions you will need to read the book.
I enjoyed reading this story. It was a good read that had you wondering what else could go wrong in Delilah’s life. There were times I just wanted to scream at the book because it seemed liked the Universe was hell bent on making Delilah miserable. There were also times that I wanted to yell at Delilah because she frustrated me with some of her decisions. In the end, I was delighted with how the story ended. While I would have liked more, I know how it ended was perfect. Make sure to go get your copy today and see what obstacles stand in the way of Delilah and Hugh’s HEA!!

“I’ve been wanting to kiss you for twelve years and couldn’t wait another fucking second,” he clarified then he pressed his luscious lips to mine again just as a soft groan emanated from his throat. “God that is so much better than I have been imagining.” ~Hugh


“It didn’t take me long at all, Hugh. I fell in love with you the instant I set my eyes on you.”

[Sherry · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was quite cute and I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion as I met Delilah Welling at sixteen years old preparing for the wedding of her mother’s best friend daughter Darcy Strong. Not only does Delilah not like Darcy or even care to be in the wedding, she has the biggest crush on the groom Hugh Rowen. Darcy does not care for Delilah and uses any opportunity to remind her. So, after, a disastrous “trip” down the aisle on Darcy and Hugh’s wedding day that never happened, Delilah has only one mission in life… to forget about the day that her “lamb chops” got further down the aisle than she did as the junior bridesmaid.

Twelve years later, she is older, wiser and no less in love with Hugh Rowan than she had been the day she believes she ruined his life. But then he shows up in New York where she now lives and works and has changed EVERY thing. However, one thing has remained the same, Delilah still has a nemesis but this time it is her partner at work that does some really not so nice things to her.

I must say this was one of the funniest books I have read in a while that was quirky with a pretty decent storyline. It had its ups and downs and although it had some happenings in the bedroom… and over the phone, it was not a book to read if you are looking for kink-foolery. My only negative about this book is I wanted to read more of Delilah and Hugh's story once they got it all together.I will definitely be reading other books by this author.

Oh my, poor Delilah is one hot mess! The story starts with 16 year old Delilah who is asked to be a junior bridesmaid in a wedding she has no desire to attend because the groom is her crush.. she reluctantly agrees because it makes her mother happy and what happens next is hilarious and heart breaking all at once.
12 years later her doorman hands her a message that throws her life into a tailspin. What was the message and what happens next? Well, you will have to read it yourself to find out. I promise you will not be disappointed!
Amy Baker is a very talented writer. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

[Rachel · Rating 2 out of 5]

I had hope for this book, but it fell really short/flat for me. The big reveal in the beginning that the main character ran from and left town as soon as she could wasn't that big of a deal. Embarrassing? YES! But not a I need to leave town mess. Then to think that the main guy in the book looked her up 12 years later for revenge is just non-sense! If anything he was going to thank you because you stopped him from making the biggest mistake of his life. And then a side character (a co-worker) gets brought in to destroy the heroine (IF you can call her that) and it just seems like things were thrown into the story just to make the readers go through the turmoil of will they end up together. When if you ask me the main characters should have stopped to question the lack of trust/faith they had in each other. But I guess thats what happens when you dont see someone for 12 years and still assume that they are the same person!

This was a quirky, giggle inducing fast read. I will never look at lamb chops the same again.
Delilah Welling has been in love with Hugh Rowen for as long as she can remember. The problem? He is 5 years older and engaged to marry her arch nemesis....YUCK! So what's a girl to do but suck it up and be a junior bridesmaid to what she considers the wedding from hell. Only things don't always work out the way we think they will. Devastated over hurting the only man she has or will ever love she runs far and wide.
After twelve years of waiting Hugh suddenly appears back in her life. Is he there for revenge or for her?
I laughed continuously throughout this book. The author did an amazing job of making this book engaging and sweet. I really enjoyed Hugh. His patience and perseverance in going after what he wanted despite the years it took made me love him even more. Delilah had a quirky, smart mouth that just worked in this storyline.

[Michele Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Witty, funny, sweet, sad, shocking, surprising, frustrating you name it. Loved it!!

We all read a synopsis and anticipate what the story would be and as I started my journey into the pages I was enjoying it but said to myself ok, same old plot but was liking it all the same. Then bam 12 years later. I know it says it in the synopsis but somehow I forgot that part and the shenanigans start all over again. As I continued reading I felt every emotion but never expected the various scenarios that happened or that the story would be what it was.

One of the best books I have read. Alright of course you expected the ending but all the in betweens you could have never guessed. Amy Baker is an amazing writer and I would have never expected this book to be what it was. Pshhhh "over" Pshhhh
